Tsuka refurbishment service

I can also fit mekugi in either bamboo or black buffalo horn at a small extra charge. I will carry out small repairs to cracks etc as needed. When finished I will send back to you recorded delivery, or by a means of your choosing.

Payment best by ‘Paypal’ either before comencement or half before if you prefer. If sent a tsuka that is beyond saving I will send it back to you and charge you only the postage-no silly apraisal charge! Please note that I do not make new tsuka from scratch.
